Butterscotch Pecan Pie Recipe

Imagine a thick, buttery, flaky homemade pie crust (side note: I finally found an easy all-butter crust recipe that even I can’t mess up!) filled with a sweet, nutty butterscotch filling that hits every cozy fall craving. It’s gooey, golden, and is absolute perfection with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

This recipe is a twist on our family-favorite Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie! We’ll be sharing that one soon– it’s seriously so good with melted chocolate chips stirred right into the filling and even more sprinkled on top with the pecans.

This butterscotch version? The same dreamy, gooey texture — but with butterscotch chips instead of chocolate.
